vocal care starts young
Whether you are a school teacher with a class full of kids that love to sing… or a singing teacher of children; the lead up to World Voice Day is a perfect time to reinforce good vocal habits.
Attached is a double-sided, printable handout that was produced for WVD. It will act as a reminder to parents about the need to encourage voice care in their children from a young age.
The author Judy Rough is a Sydney based Speech Therapist with a long history of classical singing. Since her career began in a children’s choir at age 11, Judy has been singing safely for over 30 years and is passionate about the care of young voices.
